One-time series.City-Bahn. Branch lines have always been problem children
for the German railroad. In 1984, the German Federal Railroad took a new
approach to increase the attractiveness of service on little used routes.
The project went under the name ?City-Bahn? and initially one route for
selected for this service: Cologne ? Gummersbach. ?Silberlinge? / ?Silver
Coins? commuter cars were used as rolling stock and were rebuilt to the
latest standard at that time. A train café was set up in one of
the cars and the exterior of these trains was borrowed from the paint
scheme for the S-Bahn in the Rhine/Ruhr area. The paint scheme for the
locomotives was adapted to that of the trains in order to achieve a high
level of recognition for the ?City-Bahn? product. Class 218 diesels were
used on the route Cologne ? Gummersbach. The railroad was able to register
a clear increase in passengers thanks to the ?City-Bahn?, and this increase
was the result of the dense service at regular intervals. Without a doubt
the ?City-Bahn? concept kept rail service alive on routes threatened with
abandonment until it was replaced by its successor, the ?Stadt-Express?
or ?City-Express?.

This model can be found in a DC version in the Trix H0 assortment under
item no. 22234. Appropriate ?City-Bahn? cars can be found in the Märklin
H0 assortment under the item numbers 43808 and 43818.
